"The enemy used tactical aviation very heavily, firing towards the line of contact, dropping guided bombs both on the settlements on the right bank and later on the bridgehead on the left bank. In total, we can say that more than 330 guided bombs were dropped from tactical aircraft in December alone," Humenyuk said.
